No, if you create local override in /etc/systemd/, it should stay there unchanged.
What is supposed to be overwritten at each upgrade is the /lib/systemd file.

Note that if you create manual overwrites, you should take care of them,
because changes in provide.

Only if anything overwrites files in /etc/systemd/, there may be an error in
clamav distribution or package distribution.

Debian for example takes care about config files in /etc and provides manual
and automatic ways to update them at package upgrade.

I am not sure whether it applies for systemd files, I guess not.
